No, that's what you do when you're writing something easy any entry level developer can do, like most of the shit enterprise software companies insist on writing. It doesn't work when you've got a cutting edge console with alien technology and a limited number of developers capable of writing for it. This isn't exactly Stack Overflow "pls help i am writing anroid app but i am getting teh crash plz to give me tutorial" territory.

You're not a security professional. You should have to put that in your sig file. The linux kernel is used in many different situations, and clearly some security problems only pose a risk in some of those situations. IE. a lot of embedded systems will never be vulnerable to this particular issue.
A bug is a bug. All bugs should be triaged and then treated accordingly. You don't pretend a bug is more important because security is the flavour of the month.
Also, 4G isn't just about speed, but coverage. You can't call it 4G without a minimum stationary and another minimum if moving. 3G can be a bit naff in that respect.
If you're attempting to suggest that browsing the web, downloading apps and updates is no faster on 4G than on 3G then I'm here to tell you that you're very, very wrong.
It's because, despite the growth in tools, better IDEs etc, writing quality software, especially complex software, is hard, and the standard of development has gone down because people are chasing short term costs. Better to get some newb muppet to write something quickly and cheaply, throw a lot of tests at it to check it sort of does something without crashing (better hope the specs were ok), and cash the cheque before any changes are required (cheaper to start from scratch). Adding complexity just makes it more expensive so let's not offer the user any choices, shall we? You'll work *this* way, you won't have any options. The web is largely like that now (white screens with a single column of text in the middle - who needs 24 inch monitors when you can get away with a 17 inch one), Android apps with next to no options (thanks, Google) etc.
It's cabbies who rip people off; I can get from A to B using a cabbie or a minicab. Which do you think is typically half the price of the other? Yes, I'd submit that you may get taken the long way by a minicab driver, and that this is more likely to happen than by a cabbie. But rapists have been known to use black cabs; it's not a *guarantee* of anything. It's like, to use a programming analogy (hey, you can't use a car analogy; we're already talking about cars) - inserting an element into a vector in C++ is usually O(1). Sometimes it has to do an allocate/copy/free cycle if you add more than was originally allocated which makes it more expensive( O(n) even) , but the average is still O(1) over time. Likewise, using a cabbie frequently is a rich man's folly.

Their problem. They're bitter because they've wasted their time on what they thought was training for a `job for life` and it's just been upset by someone with a £20 android phone and free software. (They're not `requirements` - there's no requirement that you learn loads of locations if you can get google to tell you the same thing immediately). I'm sure travel agents moaned when they were replaced by websites, and perhaps there was a requirement for them to learn capital cities or memorize which airlines flew between which airports. But who cares?
If they say "£10" up front that's what they get - traffic or not. What are they going to do about it? You're already at your destination with the law on your side. Any of their mouth and I won't pay them at all.
Satnav: yeah, it's great that cabbies spend all that time learning the Knowledge but it's not needed any more. Sure, pay the extra if you wan to hear some moronic racist drivel; I'd rather have a chat with a generally more interesting asian person than some fat london moaning about foreigners `taking all the jobs`. I've lived in and around london most of my life and between public transport and minicabs there's just no need to pay the rip-off fees cab drivers charge.
"You know who maddog is, right? He's one of our favorite speakers on what we might call the Linux/FOSS circuit.

> Cars have to be designed with the interests of the road-using population in mind.
You need to use a more flexible programming language, then. (C++ is good; you could use java, but - despite "speed" rather amusingly being one of its reasons for existence - I'm not sure anyone outside of Oracle's marketing department actually believe that, plus C++ doesn't seem to require a weekly update to keep it alive.)
Seriously, cars need to be `designed` to do, ultimately, what society deems right. You'll probably find different results in different countries. I'd imagine that most people would say `minimize harm` and `road-using population` is a phrase which counts for nothing.
I've been around, playing games at least, since the early 1980s. If by indie you mean `1 or 2 or 3 people making a living from writing and selling their games with more or less complete independence from bean counters and trend-mongers` then the answer has to be around then, up to around 1994 or so when powerful consoles took off, and the visual side of things was treated as more important (3d, video fmv, cd audio)...basically when it was seen that there was a lot of money to be made appealing to non-traditional gamers. The hobbiest side of things died more or less overnight, as you can't compete on those terms and there was (essentially) no internet for them to self-publish. It's possible again now, thanks to the internet, app stores etc but - perhaps i'm old and jaded - it doesn't seem as fun, or with as much variety now. But I suppose you could make the case that there's been a renaissance in the last, say, 4 years or so.

Assuming it's actually a crime.
Calm down. It's no different to YouTube anti piracy policies. The solution will likely be similar.

Those of use in Europe already think "one of the US Government's servers". The difference is negligible.

Surely if it's a son it should be its brother?
How is moving from Windows to a Mac an improvement?
Don't you report them, and then they get watched/videod and if there's evidence they're cheating they're kicked/banned?

> The 1980s miners strike was an illegal strike
Irrelevant to the topic at hand, just like saying `the Nazi persecution of Jews was lawful given the laws in force at the time`.
> Being non-identifiable was a safety issue with regard to the police
No, they were breaking their own rules by doing this.
Exactly. I'm surprised this is legal anywhere (well, any developed country). And was it not obviously in breach?
Users of `look-after-my-child-for-a-few-hours.com` better watch their backs!

Please stop using "wait" that way. It's a bit limp.
No.

No, Google puts it back up and it's for the company to then sue you/Google.
He doesn't need a lawyer; just tell Google "that's BS - it's my copyright" and they'll put the content back up again.
